Nice one Chompy.
I note with interest that 60s boogeyman and US justice system anomaly Charles Manson is up for his 13th parole application. Whilst there isn’t a doubt in my mind that he was and almost certainly is Very Bad News, he is 77 years old. He is also inside for the Tate/LaBianca murders when there is no suggestion that he actually carried them out himself.

He’s still locked up for being the personification of the ‘dirty hippies’ who ‘ruined’ America in the late 60s as much for anything else. He is a symbol of the brief spell when ‘old skool’ America lost its grip and for that reason I suspect he’ll never be let out. They were fucking terrified of him, to the extent that he was forbidden from giving evidence at his own trial in case he somehow hypnotized the jury. Seriously.

i did eat one arancini too many though
i feel distinctly sick. still, an afternoon's inactivity reviewing schedules of dilapidations should fix that up real nice.

what are you doing for easter, al?

At the risk of incurring a barrage of abuse from you about how boring I am
I will be decorating my hall, running 15 miles, going to Jamie Olivers BBQ restaurant for a friends birthday and seeing the in-laws.

the first one i'm not gonna lie to you, pretty dull
the second i am jealous. the third is awesome, even as a vegetarian. make sure you order the bread - you get this amazing tower of toasted breads of all different types. the fourth, they should have bought you easter eggs. WIN. so no, you're ok this time.

I like the story in his autobiography about him screwing the preacher's daughter.
The preacher came round to bollock him, so he gave him some acid."Charlie is love".

I like his idea of 'Helter Skelter'. An apocalyptic race war is just what's required.

samantha brick?
i got told i was better looking than her today (by my brother, lest this makes it sound more exciting than it really was). and it wasn't meant as a compliment ("even you are... etc"). it could become the left-handed compliment of the day.

The lad with tourettes is from Southport
One of my friends went to school with him, supposedly he was just fairly quiet there.

he had a scouse accent on him
and they'd set him up with a girl in london. why? surely 200 miles is even more of a dealbreaker than being called a FUCKING WHORE?

I was cringing after the radio enthusiast started eating his date's chips. It was so awkward.
In fact all of it was pretty gutwrenching.

Andrew Lansley
Given that the US have a track record of locking people up for long periods for lesser crimes it seems unlikely for him to ever be paroled. Also, despite not actually carrying out the murders, most legal systems have provision for joint enterprise in crime (I listened to a programme on the radio about it last night) and he was clearly directly involved in these murders.But more importantly he is indirectly responsible for the group Kasabian and for this reason alone should never be freed.

Penelope Dingle and Francine Scrayen
The difference between them is that I think Dingle has now been punished enough for her idiocy (she's dead), whereas in I hope Scrayen is severely punished for her actions (telling Dingle that only homeopathy will cure her cancer, because a psychic told her it would happen.)

I've just had it installed as a result of getting a new work laptop and it's fucking impenetrable. I can only assume that Microsoft employ double agents in the pay of Apple, or insane people

What OS are you using it on?
I had no problem with it on XP, but I've just upgraded to 7 at work, and it's annoying me.

i agree
as a result of it's existance, it's much easier for management to badger me and make me go to meetings, and much harder for me to deny all knowledge when there's a big fucking box with 'tedious meeting you're doomed to attend, and spend 2hrs wrestling with your suddenly leaden eyelids in a warm stuffy room with some dude droning on despite your having NO input and interest in it, and a shitload of other work to do- due in 5 minutes'

you need to prioritise your workload better
ask yourself, are you busy or are you productive? If you want to have a catch up about how we can better leverage your skillset then drop me an email.

It once took me 3 hours to find the 'send' button on that.
I asked 3 people if they could find it, and they couldn't eaither. Eventually it just appeared and we all could have sworn it was there all along.

Imagine all the tributes though.
It would totally get newslettered, just like that girl who died whose boyfriend is over it and getting married to someone better.

Verily, it has come to pass that I have started my mid life crisis
Nice piece of furniture if nothing else, two qotw mark 5's, a staton 'battle' mixer, and a couple of monitors chucked in for good measure. Have started buying up vinyl, but it's turning out fucking pricey. Any suggestions gratefully received.
